You know, Haruhi would never be as popular like it is today if the gender swap is real... One should agree that one of the main reasons that it is successful is because it has lots of cute and beautiful girls.

Kyon-ko and Itsuko are cute and beautiful too...

But I agree with you. One of the reasons this is so awesome is because we have an already established idea of the way the characters SHOULD be.

Simply brilliant. Most of the character description and seiyuu suggestion by that guy are right on the spot, though I would imagine Kyon-ko to be more of a girl with a cynical attitude to life, like Chiaki in Minami-ke, who if you are aware is voiced by Chihara Minori. Fancy having Minorin in both the gender-proper and gender-bending versions?

Minorin's Chiaki voice would work too, and I think she could handle the tsundere transitions if she's given enough time to work on it.

Plus it's an excuse to get her to sing the OP.

We might want a separate thread for "The Genderbending of Haruhi Suzumiya" soon enough.

great idea...
but we need to change a lot of things...
i mean... simple things like...
if the computer president is a girl, then you can't use the same blackmail as haruhi did.

but first... a thread of our own

* Neo- refers to reversed gender.

Given Haruhi's lack of inhabitation, and her general "cluelessness" of gender sensibilities in the first novels, it is not far-fetched to have her counterpart be unwittingly "cruel" to girls, not because Neo-Haruhi is a MCP, but because he really sees equality in all genders.

So long as we realise that we are doing a parody on a what-if situation, we should be more than capable enough of laughing at the resulting absurd situations that will occur.

As for the blackmail scenario, it can still be a case of "molestation", as Neo-Mikuru is meek enough for this to be a plausible explanation. The difference is in the implication. For guys, it implies forcing themselves on a girl. For girls, it implies that they are being slutty and whorish.
